Hey. I know there are more brawl players than this...they just probably dont go on smashboards.
Somehow, we should advertise smashboards to the massachusetts colleges (Amherst, UMASS, etc...)
someone go do it kay? ^^

In general, scrubs don't like competitive smash. Interestingly, scrubs kind of lose the title if they go to a tourny twice. I've seen a lot of faces only once, they were also very bad. That tells me something.
Either way, I came up with the theory that if they don't go to smash boards, they suck cause they do not have experience in competitive smash (more or less cause they don't know about it, other wise they'd be here). We have strict rules that scrubs wont get to on their own (although I did turn off item and go 3 stocks before I knew about competitive smash, still played temple though
) That being said, go for it. I personally am not going to UMass Amherst to find people who play EITHER game. I'm not trying to stunt growth here, I just know that without knowing about competitive smash (i.e. actively post on this forum) then you can't be good. How good were you before your first tourny/post on SWF?
I am encouraging one of my friends in Greenfield to start playing, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
There are a bunch of brawl players, my suggestion is to tell people who are new at tournies about SWF. Going and telling randoms casuals about competitive smash isn't going to do a lot of good cause chances are they're the best amongst all their friends and can beat 3 lvl 9's teamed up against them.

I don't think that's completely accurate. First of all, there are plenty of lurkers on smashboards, and there are people who don't check the regional threads and whatnot. I know I didn't for about a year after I started playing tournaments, and only because the threads were linked to.
Not to mention the best way to make someone a non-scrub is to teach them not to suck, which is what experienced players should do to expand the community. Granted it takes initiative on the part of the scrub, but it all works out in the end.
Anyways, I'm all up for college smash clubs and whatnot, it'll give me people to beat when I go there.

Nuro: Will do, am lazy meant to change it a long time ago.
Questor: Even if you lurk you still absorb info. Although just cause you don't post doens't mean you know nothing. BUT I will argue that you can't be that good if all you do is lurk.

I am right on the Green line on Boston University campus. We actually have quite a few players at BU but many of them are casual.

Cool, but Cog better come here first since I'm practically nextdoor.
Also, casual players can't beat 3 lvl 9's teamed up against them unless it's on Rainbow Cruise or something, even with team attack on. I don't think I can beat 3 lvl 9s at once and in 10 stock practice matches I usually don't lose a single stock against a lvl 9.
level 9s beat me all the time... their mindgames make me suicide

Spife you're silly, we should encourage everyone everywhere to come on SWF and to come to tournaments.

To be honest, one of the harder things is finding a tournament that is nearby for a persons first tournament. I know I have been interested in playing in the tournament scene but its hard to see when and where a good tournament will be until the time has already passed. It feels like there some sort of wall that makes it hard to go to your first few tourneys.

I didn't mean to suggest that we don't tell anyone about SWF. I just implied (or meant to) that in general, people who don't already go are bad. I'm also not saying anyone who's bad can't post though (I still do ).
I came to this theory when I realized I had no one to play in NW MA. If I didn't know anyone from tournies, I probably didn't know anyone from SWF, and without those two things, a player can't naturally be good. Nurture is an important role for getting better.
Not sure why I said not to get the word out though. That was weird of me. Well go for it, I'm not going to go post flyers around though. More or less cause I don't freequent UMass amherst. I guess I could put up a few flyers at my school though. I guess.

I agree but the only way to make them better is to make them come to tournies etc we were all scrubs once
and shouldn't you be uploading the rest of our vids?

That sounds fine, Its just that I am unsure about what tourneys I can reach by train/bus (Dont have a car up here) Any suggestions of a good starting tournament to go to?

Go to the next Mass Madness. Get a ride if you can and if not somebody can pick you up at the framingham train stop (like 2 min from the venue)

Hey everyone! I'm back! (Though I dropped off the face of the planet for a while...) How was Mass Madness?
@ Spife, if I wanted some matches with you recorded at the W. Mass Tourny, how would that be done? I'm kinda in the dark as far as all of that stuff goes...
@ Roman: So are you 3rd or 4th best in Mass dude?

I was just kidding. Roman's just way better than I am, hence the jokes. I've beaten people at tournys. Lost more often than not, and I haven't been to many... but yeah... I'm rambling lol.

Cool! Spife's here! Can you answer my question from a page back? I don't get the bannabread reference, but I still think it's funny...
I don't see the question, my guess is something on the western MA tourny?

or something else perhaps?
Remember the soup is always on the handle.
